We know it has been a while but this update is big, in fact, half the features we had not hinted to before the update. The two major known changes are the finalisation of Clans, as well as the implementation of Dynamic spawning!

​

This section will be a brief overview of the system, with a more in depth post found HERE.

Clans are a system where players can form groups to work together. Through their efforts, they are able to show their dominance other all other server members and also be rewarded at the same time. After every MCStrike game played, players are awarded clan points based on their performance.

The biggest new feature of clans is Seasons. At the start of every month, the clans at the top of the leaderboard will be rewarded for doing well. Rewards are given based on the overall clan position, as well as how much each player contributed to the clan, with many players earning thousands of coins. All clans points are then reset for the next season!

These coins can be used for buying of guns and equipment or can be directly fed back into the clan for the owner to spend in the clan store. Among the items in the clan store are tags, capes, icons and the most important packs.

At the beginning of games, players now fly into position. The animation of players jumping from the chinook into the warzone is fabulous and you guys have told us so much already. We’re super excited about it as well, it’s pretty awesome.

This feature is a real move forward for the server, pun intended. Rather than players spawning in the same area each time they die, spawns now change depending on where other players are on the battlefield. Not only does this prevent spawn camping but it will hopefully for a direct shift in the flow of maps. This feature is subject to change on how it’s worked out so suspect some changes to the current system.

The server now has an AFK kicker. If players stop moving a fair amount of time a warning is displayed on the screen. If they do not react to this they will be moved back to the hub allowing another player to join. There is no punishment for going AFK in a game, apart from losing your slot in the game.

A current issue has delayed this appearing. Should be in-game very soon
We have a second Microgame for you guys to play. This one is a speed-based challenge. When you start to play you get given an item to click. Once it is clicked it disappears and a new item is spawned else where. After you have clicked 10 items the time it took is displayed in chat. Also, the Microgames app now available in the Chinook, just in case you’ve finished voting for the map and modifying your loadout early!

As always we are so grateful for how much you guys feedback your opinions. We love making this server as enjoyable as possible and everyone’s reaction to the new fly-in animation has been great. We understand there is a bit of uncertainty to the massive effect dynamic spawning has had, and we want to perfect it too. Any feedback you have on it, and anything else, is always listened to.

Maybe your using the 2d pack? If you type /resourcepack (or /texturepack) in hub/strike lobby, then you get to choose between two packs, one is 3d pack, which will take a little bit more space and will slow your game down just a tiny bit, the the other one, you may be using right now, is the 2d pack, which is a basic texturepack wich doesn't really make much difference to your fps thanks
